We usually do one short walk (15-20 mins) and one long walk (15 mins, then off-leash for half an hour, then 15 mins back home) each day, with several 10-15 minute play sessions. She lazes about the rest of the day.
One thing I've noticed with my pup, is the whole "little and often" thing which surfaces time and time again, it applies to Milly for exercise too. After 15 minutes of hard playtime, she's ready for a lie down, but then she's up again and ready to go in half an hour.
If the weather's bad she doesn't object to two short walks instead of a long walk and a short one, an extra bit of playtime and she's satisfied, tired, and happy.
I don't crate my dog... she's good as gold when left alone.
